Starting from Douluo to Capture Goddesses

"You seem quite popular in this place," Xu Ran said, listening to the people around lusting after Xiao Mei. He wasn't annoyed at all, instead, he was happy. What use was a woman without charm, even if he got her?

Xiao Mei was clearly very charming. Despite her young age, she was already a beauty, innocent yet seductive, and most importantly, very obedient.

Obedient women get candy.

Although Xu Ran liked pursuing those high-and-mighty women and seeing them turn obedient once he got them, it would be even better if they were naturally obedient.

Men, well, that's just how they are.

"Brother Xu Ran, don't you like it? It's just nonsense those people outside are saying…" Xiao Mei's face flushed red, thinking Xu Ran was angry, and she hurriedly explained.

"Explain what? I'm not angry."

"The more charming my woman is, the better. The fact that you can mesmerize so many people just proves your charm. If my woman had no charm at all, wouldn't that make me lose face when I take her out?" Xu Ran said with a slight smile.

Men, after all.

As long as they have a beautiful wife, they couldn't wait to take her out and boast in front of their friends every day.

"Really?" Xiao Mei blinked her pretty big eyes.

After getting to know Xu Ran for a while, she realized that he was quite easy to get along with and didn't have as bad a temper as she had imagined, which relieved her immensely. At the same time, she grew bolder in speaking with Xu Ran.

"Of course, it's true. I've said, you're my woman, not my slave. You really don't need to be so afraid of me; I won't bully you," Xu Ran said, a bit irritated.

"Oh," Xiao Mei coyly stuck out her tongue.

How could she possibly not take Xu Ran seriously? He was a Seventh Rank Alchemist!

In Wu Tan City, even a First-Grade Alchemist was considered very impressive.

She knew about Master Liu Xi, who was just a First-Grade Alchemist, yet his status in Wu Tan City was already very noble.

Xiao Mei took Xu Ran into the Xiao Family, bluntly stating that he was her boyfriend, leaving the Xiao Family members dumbfounded.

As members of the Xiao Family, they were naturally very familiar with Xiao Mei, who always acted superior and hardly paid attention to ordinary people. How could she suddenly bring back a boyfriend?

However, the upper echelons of the Xiao Family didn't care about this.

Xiao Mei's romance was of no concern to them. What they cared about was the whereabouts of that mysterious Seventh Rank Alchemist. The future landscape of Wu Tan City now depended on who could secure the support of the Seventh Rank Alchemist, for they would soar to great heights.

It wasn't just the Xiao Family; the other two major families, especially the Gale Family, were desperately searching for Xu Ran. They inquired madly about Xu Ran from Ya Fei, even willing to spend more than half of their family fortune just to find out Xu Ran's whereabouts.

But why would Ya Fei tell them any of this?

Moreover, Ya Fei only knew Xu Ran's name and wasn't even clear on his whereabouts.

When they arrived at the Xiao Family, Xiao Mei arranged the room next to hers for Xu Ran, and then diligently helped Xu Ran settle into the room, her virtuous demeanor making him unwittingly smile.

A girl like Xiao Mei, although often quite mercenary, would be very dependent and obedient to you as long as you could make her benefit and sincerely win her over.

For Xu Ran, this was indeed a good choice.

Why not do it if it can be obtained easily without even using one's brain?

People like Xiao Mei would only cling to the strong, as long as you remain strong, she wouldn't leave you.

Besides, Xiao Mei's relationship with Xiao Yan wasn't that close back then; her affection for Xiao Yan due to his strength and her distance when he was weak isn't really a concern.

Xiao Mei diligently helps Xu Ran make the bed, her fragile young girl's silhouette showing as she turns her back to him.

"Brother Xu Ran, I've finished tidying up, you can rest here from now on. I live next door, so if Brother Xu Ran needs any help, you can call me at any time. No matter the request, I will agree," Xiao Mei said, her youthful face flushing with a touch of pink.

For her, even if Xu Ran abandoned her in the future, she could gain a lot from having such a relationship with him.

Xu Ran effortlessly made her a Dou Zhe, the top genius of Wu Tan City!

If Xu Ran really put his heart into helping her, could she break through to become a Dou Shi or even stronger?

Previously, after witnessing the scene where Xu Ran helped her instantaneously become a Dou Zhe, she believed Xu Ran to be omnipotent.

"As long as you're obedient, everything you want can become reality. But you must be good, otherwise I will be very angry," Xu Ran said as he tousled Xiao Mei's pink hair.

He saw through what was in Xiao Mei's heart at a glance.

"Oh, then Mei'er will leave first. Brother Xu Ran must be tired from the alchemy just now, Brother Xu Ran should rest first, and then later Mei'er will serve Brother Xu Ran for a bath and rest," Xiao Mei said biting her lip, her coquettishness tinged with naivety, a flavor quite unique.

Cousin??

No cousin could escape the palm of his hand.

After speaking, Xiao Mei tiptoed and planted a kiss on Xu Ran's face, then slipped away.

Although Xiao Mei knew she needed to please Xu Ran to get more benefits, she was also a young lady of the Xiao Family, not a maid, unfamiliar with serving others. The thought of an intimate relationship with Xu Ran made her feel both uncertain and expectant.

Seventh Rank Alchemist!

With just a casual word from such a powerful figure, many of Heaven's Proud Daughters would rush to compete for the chance to serve as Xu Ran's maid.

To serve beside such a strong individual, everything seen and learned each day would already be an exceedingly precious fortune. Moreover, an Alchemist could casually bestow some low-grade elixirs they deemed insignificant that could greatly enhance their "Cultivation Level".

…

"Miss, the Alchemist had already left the auction house when I arrived. The Pill Lightning also vanished," Ling Ying's figure landed outside Xun Er's boudoir, speaking respectfully.

"How could this be? Why didn't the tribulation lightning strike, when that elixir was clearly of high rank?" A girl in a purple dress stood elegantly in the room, looking out the window at the landscape. The light breeze that met her teased her waist-length black hair, making it flutter slowly. With the fluttering of the hem of her dress, the perfect outline of the girl's curves was faintly discernible.

The girl's eyes calmly gazed at the horizon, as pure as a worldly Qinglian – untouched by even the slightest dust.

"I also do not know; it is really too strange. However, that Alchemist is of a very high grade; although it was Pill Lightning, the one that appeared in the sky previously didn't seem like ordinary Pill Lightning," Ling Ying said.

He was there to protect Xun Er, and the appearance of such a strong person left him somewhat stunned.

A Seventh Rank Alchemist, at the very least, they would have the "Cultivation Level" of a Douhuang, right?

What if such a strong individual meant harm to the Miss?
